6:05 p.m. — Rob Phinisee gets a good look from three, but it doesn't go. The rebound comes out deep and Trayce Jackson-Davis puts up a three at the buzzer, but it doesn't go. Penn State wins 61-58. Devastating loss for Indiana. GAME STORY TO COME

6:02 p.m. — Trayce Jackson-Davis gets the inbounds pass and drives to the rim on John Harrar, but the shot rolls off. There's a scramble for the ball, and it goes to Penn State. They get it inbounded, and Rob Phinisee fouls, but that's only six on Indiana. Go again, and Phinisse fouls Sam Sessoms for a one-and-one. He makes them both.

5:57 — Once again, Indiana leaves Myles Dread open for three and he hits it, but Rob Phinisee answers with a three of his own, and it's 57-56 Penn State. Seth Lundy is fouled and makes them both. Trayce Jackson-Davis scores. 59-58. Hoosiers make a stop and get one last chance. 21 seconds to go and Indiana calls timeout.

5:55 p.m. — Trayce Jackson-Davis got good inside position on two straight possessions, but couldn't get the shot to fall. Seth Lundy travels on the other end, though, and Indiana gets the ball back. Xavier Johnson attacks the basket, and gets fouled with 2:05 to go. He makes 1-of-2 and it's 54-53 Penn State.

5:50 p.m. — Weird possession there. Penn State got two offensive rebounds at the end of shot clocks, but still didn't score. Indiana rebounds, and calls timeout with 3:14 to go. Penn State leads 54-52. Penn State has 11 offensive rebounds so far, and are outrebounding Indiana 37-27 overall.

5:47 p.m. — A pair of baskets by Rob Phinisee pulls Indiana to within one at 51-50, but on the other end, Jalen Pickett hits a fadeaway 3-pointer as the shot clock was expiring.

5:42 p.m. — We're at the under-8 timeout, and Penn State's John Harrar looks like he's hurt his knee. He needs help getting to the bench. He's their best rebounder (12) and best defender on Indiana's bigs. Penn State leads 51-46 with 7:24 to go.

5:40 p.m. — Indiana gets a pair of free throws from Trayce Jackson-Davis, and then Xavier Johnson gets a steal and goes the length of the court. He's fouled and makes 1-of-2. Penn State leads 51-46.

5:35 p.m. — Sam Sessoms is on fire. Hits back-to-back three and the lead is suddenly 10 points, at 51-43.

5:30 p.m. — Well. we have have a run, but it's Penn State that's on fire. The Nittany Lions go on a 10-2 run and take a 46-38 lead. Three-pointers by Sam Sessoms and Myles Dread hurt, but of which came when Indiana's guard dropped off to double team bigs who were well covered. Indiana does that too much.

5:27 p.m. — FYI, Indiana's women have beaten Maryland for the first time ever. Good for them!

5:15 p.m. — Trayce Jackson-Davis is patient on the double team, and hits a wide-open Xavier Johnson. He knocks down a three, and Indiana goes up 34-31. Penn State coach Micah Shrewsberry calls timeout with 17:16 to go.

5:05 p.m. — Trayce Jackson-Davis played 15 minutes in the first half, Race Thompson 13. I vote for more. Starters are all back on the floor for the start of the second half. Hoosiers haven't really gone a run yet in this game. Now would be a good time for that.

4:50 p.m. — We've reached halftime, and Penn State leads 27-26. Those last three minutes were pretty ugly on the offensive end for the Hoosiers. They are just 11-for-30 shooting for the game, and 2-for-9 from deep. The inside guys — Trayce Jackson-Davis, Race Thompson and Jordan Geronimo — are a combined 8-for-12 from the field, and the rest of the group is just 3-for-18. That won't do it on the road.

4:45 p.m. — At the under-4 timeout and Indiana leads 24-22. Jordan Geronimo has been a nice boost off the bench, with four points. The starters all came back in, but Xavier Johnson picked up a second foul and Rob Phinisee came back in. There's 3:12 to go in the half.

4:35 p.m. — Under-8 timeout and Penn State has pulled ahead 19-18 for the first time since it was 6-4. All five Indiana starters are on the bench right now. Reserves are just 1-for-6 from the field, with Jordan Geronimo making the only basket. Tamar Bates 0-3 and Rob Phinisee 0-for-2.

4:30 — Back-to-back wreckless turnovers by Rob Phinisee and Tamar Bates, attacking the basket while out of control. That's only three for the game so far, though, which isn't bad.

4:23 p.m. — We're at the second media timeout and Indiana leads 16-14. Thompson hitting a three-pointer was big. He was 2-for-15 — just 13.3 percent — coming into the game. Michael Durr and Tamar Bates in for Indiana after the break.

4:15 p.m. — Miller Kopp hits the first three for Indiana. Much needed. Hoosiers need more scoring from him. Indiana makes its first substitution at the 13:15 mark, with Rob Phinisee coming in for Xavier Johnson. Race Thompson hits a three and Indiana goes up 16-11.

4:10 p.m. — We're at the first media timeout, and Indiana leads 8-6. Hoosiers a little sluggish on offense so far, missing all three three-pointers and shooting just 4-for-10 from the field. A pair of offensive rebounds and baskets from Race Thompson have helped.

4:05 p.m. — The game starts with Indiana's ball, and Penn State's John Harrar guarding Trayce Jackson-Davis aggressively in the post. Hoosiers settle for Race Thompson, which is no good. Second trip results in a Parker Stewart three from the right corner, but he misses too. First basket is an offensive rebound and score for Thompson.

4 p.m. — Mike Woodson and his coaches in black sweats again on the road. No suit. That's been a home game thing.

3:55 p.m. — There is a very sparse crowd here today. Penn State's students aren't on campus and many of the Nittany Lions faithful were in Tampa for their bowl game against Arkansas yesterday. Plenty of Indiana red in the crowd

3:50 p. m. — Indiana sophomore guard Trey Galloway is dressed and warming up with his teammates. Hoosiers coach Mike Woodson said Friday that he's not ready to play yet after having surgery in mid-November for a fractured wrist. He's obviously getting close to play, but if he gets in today, that will be a surprise. Maybe Thursday against Ohio State? Woodson didn't rule that out.

3:40 p.m. — As I mentioned early this morning, there's been a lot of movement on the point spread in this game. Indiana opened as a 2.5-point favorite this morning, but the line is now up to 5 points just 20 minutes prior to tipoff, according to the SISportsbook.com website.

3:30 p.m. — The first bit of news for the day is that Parker Stewart is back in Indiana's starting lineup. The redshirt-junior guard started IU's first 11 games, but sat in the first half a week ago for disciplinary reasons and Anthony Leal got the call.
